No herpes isn't likely to be passed on that way. A baby could get herpes if the mother had a genital break out while giving birth to the baby.

If you have herpes 3 months prior to getting pregnant, you body has developed antibodies and it is less likely that you would pass it to the fetus.

Herpes is typically transferred to the baby during labor through the birth canal. If you have an outbreak during labor they will do a C-Section.

If you have herpes in yr mouth and you get pregnant will it harm the baby?

You should talk to your doctor about specific preventative care for you or unborn child. Don't be afraid or embarrassed to ask.I found these answers on the International Herpes Alliance pages.HSV can cause sores on the face and lips (facial herpes, for example "cold sores"), or sores on the genitals (genital herpes). HSV-1 is the usual cause of facial herpes, and HSV-2 is the usual cause of genital herpes. But either type of HSV can infect either part of the body. Either type can also infect a newborn baby.* HSV (herpes simplex virus) is most often spread to an infant during birth if the virus is present in the birth canal during delivery. * HSV can also be spread to the baby if he or she is kissed by someone who suffers from coldsores. * In rare instances, HSV may be spread by touch, if someone touches an active cold sore and immediately touches the baby. So monitor yourself and those that come in close contact with your new baby! Hope this helps.

Is it bad for a parent to kiss a 2 month old baby on the lips?

No. A parent has the right to kiss a baby right on the lips. The baby is a parents child and a parent has rights over the baby. That is my opinion.Of course parents can kiss their babies on the lips, however if the parents have had cold sores in the past, ( a herpes virus) then they take the chance of passing on the herpes virus to their baby.


Can you spread herpes to your baby when you change his diaper?

If you touch the sores or fluids from the sores and then the baby's skin, yes you can. Fluids found in a herpes sore carry the virus, and contact with those fluids can cause infection. If you touch your sores or the fluids from the sores, you may transfer herpes to another part of your own body or to someone else. Do not touch the sores or fluids to avoid spreading herpes. If you touch the sores or fluids, immediately wash your hands thoroughly to help avoid spreading your infection.
